Cargoforwarder has come up with an interesting story, looking at FedEx and its supplier ASL Airlines, which bought TNT’s airlines. It points out that plans by FedEx to fly European routes with its own planes and pilots are illegal, as US cargo carriers may only fly between the US and Europe, not intra-EU. And a Belgian pilot group also expressed concern that UPS and Ethiopian Airlines may be violating air agreements. One to watch.
